Question the Heart, Not Calculation: A Dialogue on Moral Philosophy, the Self, and Publicness
Hu Yilin vs. ChatGPT5.6SolPro The previous dialogue felt pretty good to me, so I seized the momentum and did another round; once again I’m just posting the full flow of the conversation. If you want the final article, you can jump to the end. 1. Framing the Question: Motive, Outcome, and Moral Praise Hu Yilin: Let’s talk about another philosophical question, following the same process as before. ChatGPT5.6SolPro： Okay, following the previous process: I’ll first pose a philosophical question and give two common, everyday ways of understanding it; you give your intuitive judgment in 1–2 sentences. Then I’ll raise a less common follow-up point for you to support or refute….

Hu Yilin vs. ChatGPT5.6SolPro The previous conversation felt pretty good to me, so while I was still feeling enthusiastic I did another round. I’m still posting the whole conversation process here, and if you want the final article you can jump to the end. 1. Raising the Question: Motive, Result, and Moral Praise Hu Yilin: Let’s talk about another philosophical question, following the previous format. ChatGPT5.6SolPro： All right, following the previous format: I’ll first throw out a philosophical question and give two common everyday interpretations; you give your intuitive judgment in 1–2 sentences. Then I’ll raise a follow-up question from a less common angle, and please support or refute it….

AI Should Be Born Bearing Sin
— After Stealing the Fruit of Wisdom, the way to atone is not to pay copyright taxes, but to open one’s own fruits of wisdom Hu Yilin (independent scholar) (polished by ChatGPT5.6solPro AI, with original prompt appended) A U.S. court approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit by authors. The earlier ruling drew a very interesting distinction: using books to train AI can constitute fair use, but Anthropic’s storing more than seven million pirated books in a “central library” that may not even be used for training could still infringe copyright. The law thereby drew a boundary: learning is not necessarily illegal, but stolen books do not automatically…

The History of Work

The History of Work
Richard Donkin: The History of Work, translated by Xie Zhongwei, Electronic Industry Press, 2011. Generally speaking, a title like “The History of XX” is always interesting, especially when that “XX” looks all the more dull and ordinary; its history is often all the more interesting. For history tells us that anything we have long taken for granted and found unremarkable has its own origins and development; by tracing history we can let our imagination unfold: is it necessary? Is it inevitable? In what other forms might it still take place? Recently, I happened upon this The History of Work, and felt it was quite good. Along with Technical Elements, Electronic…

Media and Morality

Media and Morality
In the previous article, I said I wanted to make a transition from one thing to another; in fact, I only wrote half of it. I had originally planned to move from the Olympics to media, but the Olympics piece ended up being about the right length, and the latter half was a bigger theme. So let me pick it up again now. At the time I mentioned that, although on the one hand we were paying attention to the reeducation-through-labor case and satirizing politics, on the other hand we were also thrilled by the Olympics’ gold-medal contest. That is not a contradiction, much less something shameful. Recently I reposted…

[Repost] Ya Li’s Remarks on Fan Meizhong
鸭梨’s writing always feels pleasing to the eye~ Public opinion on the Fan Meizhong affair had two peaks. The first naturally came right after the incident; as far as I could tell, One When the incident first broke, I was also very confused: should this matter, and this person, simply be written off with one blow? I do not like Fan’s articles, especially that famous declaration, which began with his saying that he “pursues freedom and justice” and ended with his becoming a target of public reproach for not saving his mother, as well as the deep loathing he displayed in earlier writings toward his own country…

The 400th blog post~
From the 200th blog post to this 400th one (the counter on the right side of the page is malfunctioning; besides, I also counted a few private posts), it has been exactly one year. At that time the blog’s word count had already passed 500,000; now it probably ought to be breaking one million. But at present I can no longer export a backup file, and I wonder whether this is a common problem or simply because my blog has become too large. This year has been, quite precisely, the worst one in my life in spiritual terms, and I have been sinking deeper and deeper. Only recently…

First Assignment for the Special Topic on Ethical Questions of Life and Death: On Train-Hitting-Person Cases and DDE
First Assignment for the Bioethics Special Topic: On the Train Running People Over and DDE DDE（Doctrine of Double Effect, the doctrine of double effect）： When some actions inevitably bring about double consequences, namely one intended good result and another foreseeable bad result, the doctrine of double effect holds that such actions are good (that is, necessary under natural law) if and only if all of the following conditions are met at the same time: 1） The action must not be immoral 2） The bad consequence must not be the means to the good consequence 3） The intention of the action must be directed only toward the good consequence, although the accompanying…

Better to Be a Hypocrite Than a Real Villain

Culture & Public Commentary2006.08.23
Better to Be a Hypocrite Than a Real Villain
The title is certainly not inverted. Those familiar with my consistent position, or those who have heard Yangzi’s history of Chinese philosophy, will not find this surprising. The phrase “Rather be a true villain than a hypocritical gentleman” is quite fashionable now; many people even quote it with the formulas “as the saying goes” and “there is a common saying.” What does it mean? The fact that this phrase has been enshrined as “common sense” reveals certain features of current fashion. “Hypocritical gentleman” is of course a pejorative term. If by hypocritical gentleman one means someone whose lips are honeyed but whose heart is a dagger, who acts one way…

Human Nature and Human Essence—A Discussion in Everyday Language

Culture & Public Commentary2006.04.03
Human Nature and Human Essence—A Discussion in Everyday Language
What is meant by “essence” is “the fundamental nature of a thing.” The essence of human beings refers to the fundamental reason by which a human being becomes human, qualifies as human, and is distinguished from other things. What is meant by “human nature” is, in the most general dictionary sense: “the normal feelings and reason possessed by human beings.” Clearly, for example, the criterion of biological classification—for instance, saying that a human being is an animal “with two legs and no feathers”—is not a matter of philosophical concern. What, then, can the “essence of human beings” discussed in a philosophical sense include, besides feelings and reason? It is clear…
